On the following Thursday evening I hid everything we would need in the bottom of my wardrobe and set off for the Devonshires' house with Mrs Willow. The evening was a bit of a bore, with a poetry reading and a musical recital. It might have been enjoyable in normal circumstances, but Lucy and I were bursting to get back. I was dying to carry out my plan and Lucy was itching to hear about it.

As soon as the evening's entertainment was over and Lucy and I were alone in my bedroom, I told her of my plan. I explained that I needed to be informed for the march I was taking part in – and so I wanted to sneak on board a slave ship at the docks!

'Sophia! That sounds incredibly dangerous!' Lucy gasped. 'What if we are caught? We might be thrown in one of those horrid gaols I have heard of where people eat rats and drink rainwater!'

'Don't worry, Lucy. We will only have a look and we'll only go on board if no one is watching,' I promised.

'Well . . .' said Lucy thoughtfully. For a moment she looked bewildered, but then she smiled. 'Marches? Midnight missions? Mr Stevens? Are you sure this is the same Sophia Musgrove?' she asked.

'No, this is the new Sophia Musgrove!' I told her.

'I see,' she laughed. 'Well then, East India Docks, here we come!' and she started to change into Lily's dowdy working clothes.
